Title: What if... Post by: solitude on November 09, 2014, 02:02:10 AM What if my cold storage laptop dies or gets stolen? How do I spend my bitcoins?
Is the only way to make a fresh install using my paper wallet? Title: Re: What if... Post by: solitude on November 09, 2014, 02:18:09 AM As long as I have two lines of four letter "words" backed up somewhere, I'll always have access to my bitcoins?

Just don't throw your jacket in the washing machine without checking if there's a piece of paper inside! Title: Re: What if...

From what I've read, you'd me a moron to not have a paper wallet backup WITH a cold storage laptop Title: Re: What if...
